What To Consider When Buying Used Exam Tables

By Jocelyn Davidson


To start a health facility, a doctor or health officer starting it knows very well that he will require a lot of equipment which are expensive. Buying used exam tables has become the norm for those doctors who have limited budgets. It is not hard to find one of these used tables for there are many businesses dealing with them where you can buy from. You will find the tables in different conditions so you have to know exactly what you want to make the right choice.

The welfare of your patient should be given a lot of weight in choosing the table. Any kind of discomfort caused by the table to the patients and you are sure that is the last time you will see them in your clinic. Choose one that is very comfortable for any type of client no matter how long the process will take. Test all those available to choose the best one.

You wouldn't want to be examined on a shaky and squeaking table, would you? The same way that you would avoid that is the same with the patients. You have to make sure that you choose a table that is very strong and firm so that your patients will feel safe to lie on the table during the examination period.

Easily cleanable table should be the preferred choice. The materials which are used in making the exam table will determine how easy or hard it is to clean it. A material that absorbs fluids will be very hard to clean so choosing one that has a vinyl or anything close to that would be best for you.

An examination can't happen without use of medical tools. There are exam tables which have draws for storing tools. Chances of misplacing these tools are minimized since you don't have to take the tools out of the examination room. Space will also be saved as not independent drawer for tools needs to be kept in the room

No patient will feel calm or at peace during examination when there are many conflicting colors in the room. The table you are buying should be of the same color with the paint on the room walls and also the floor. Let the colors be uniform and cool colors for a better examination environment.

Not all the patients you will handle will have the same condition. A table which will be best for examination of a given body organ may not be good for examination of another organ. If your clinic will be specializing on a specific organ of the body then choose the table that is made specifically for that use.

The last and the main thing to consider is the price of the used examination tables. You should only buy what is within your budget and not anything that you can't afford. Know what is too much and avoid it. You should not break your bank to get the very best tables in the market when you can get a good one at a relatively cheaper price.
